Aleksej Dušek, B.Sc.Civ.Eng., Croatan Chamber of Civil Engineers PROGRAM ‘CROATIA - NEW GATEWAY TO EUROPE ’ On the basis of the Program development projects in Croatia, the Program “Croatia - New gateway to Europe” was created The program was introduced to the public in Opatija 2011 on Days of Chartered Engineers The Program concretized ideas from the Program development projects in Croatia Croatian2 Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHAT IS THE MAIN IDEA OF THE PROGRAM ‘CROATIA - NEW GATEWAY TO EUROPE ’ ? 3 Better positioning of port Rijeka on the map the major Mediterranean ports. Connecting Croatia with Central Europe and River Danube Region. Diversion of goods flows through the Danube waterway to Rijeka and vice versa. Directing the flow of goods from the port of Rijeka to Central Europe and to Balkans using a multimodal transportation. Croatian Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHICH PANEUROPEAN TRANSPORT CORRIDORS ARE PASSING THROUGH CROATIA? Corridor X Bregana ( Slovenia ) - Zagreb - border of Serbia Corridor Vb border of Hungary - Zagreb -Rijeka Corridor Vc border of Hungary -Osijek-Sarajevo -Mostar-Ploče Croatian4 Chamber Of Civil Engineers ON WHICH EUROPEAN AREA DOES THE CROATIAN POSITION HAVE AN IMPACT ? The impact zone covers almost whole eastern and southern Europe, Italy, Austria and southern Germany. 14 European countries are within the radius of 1000 km outside Croatia >200 million people live in these 14 countries Croatian5 Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE CROATIAN POSITION IN EUROPEAN AREA? Croatia represents the Crossroads of east-west and north – south direction Adriatic Sea cuts deep into the Continent The sea depth near Rijeka is over 20 m, which enables the arrival of the biggest ships Croatian6 Chamber Of Civil Engineers HOW TO TAKE THE ADVANTAGE OF CROATIAN GEOGRAPHIC POSITION? Distances: Suez Canal - Port of Rijeka: 1260 nautical miles Suez Canal- Ports North Sea: 3375 nautical miles Travel to the Adriatic port are shorter than 6 days than to the North Sea ports Hamburg and Rotterdam Croatian7 Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHAT IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PORT OF RIJEKA AND SOME CENTRAL EUROPEAN CITIES ? CITY LAND DISTANCE ROUTE (km) BY RAILWAY (km) Zagreb 145 228 Budapest 504 592 Bratislava 550 686 Vienna 490 572 Prague 810 844 Belgrade 569 669 Sarajevo 456 490 Croatian8 Chamber Of Civil Engineers HOW TO TAKE THE ADVANTAGE OF CROATIAN GEOGRAPHIC POSITION ? Annual pass through the Suez Canal: 800 million tons of cargo. Annual entrance of cargo in the Adriatic ports (Rijeka, Kopar, Trst, Venis): only 40 million tons. In the port of Rijeka there are only 25% load although it has the best maritime capabilities. Croatian9 Chamber Of Civil Engineers HOW TO TAKE THE ADVANTAGE OF THESE BENEFITS, OR WHAT TO DO? Build intermodal infrastructure network which consists of: PORTS RAILWAYS HIGHWAYS WATERWAYS TERMINALS BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES Croatian10 Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHY PORT OF RIJEKA HAS ONLY 1% OF THE CARGO THAT PASSES THROUGH THE SUEZ CANAL? Poor infrastructure connections with Europe, particularly railway. Space limitations in the development of the port of Rijeka. Croatian11 Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHAT IS THE SITUATION ON THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURES? Port of Rijeka has limited capacity The railway line Rijeka - Karlovac was built in 1873 and has limited capacity The railway Corridor X is not suitable for higher speeds , reconstruction is necessary Port of Vukovar has small capacity The Sava River is navigable only to Sisak for limited ships The motorway network is mainly built Croatian12 Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHAT DOES THE PROGRAM ‘CROATIA - NEW GATEWAY TO EUROPE’ CONTAIN? Ports , Chanals, Rivers Construction of the new port of: Vukovar Rijeka on the island Krk including a new bridge to the island Krk Belišće and Donji Miholjac on the Drava river Slavonski Brod on the Sava River Karlovac Upgrade: port of Osijek port of Sisak on the Sava river Construction of the chanal Danube – Sava Control and regulation of: the Sava River from Sisak to the Serbian border the Kupa river for navigation between Sisak and Karlovac Croatian13 Chamber Of Civil Engineers WHAT DOES THE PROGRAM ‘CROATIA - NEW GATEWAY TO EUROPE’ CONTAIN?

Improvement of Ro-Ro Traffic: Parking Management and Customs Procedures at port of Rijeka Pilot Action #2. Improvement of Ro-Ro Traffic: Parking Management and Customs Procedures at port of Zadar Description Integration with National Customs System: that is a key entry point to the Customs paperless clearance system. The objective is to improve traffic fluidity and decrease waiting queues at the entrance and exit points of the ports of Rijeka and Zadar. Due to manual procedures, during the entry/exit operations, are causing unnecessary delays and bottlenecks. The prototype solution will disburden both the Custom officers as well as the truck drivers using improved IT solutions and reducing waiting times. "The aim of the initiative is to provide a technical solution to comply with European regulations, in order to reduce waitings at the entry/exit points of port of Rijeka and Zadar." Original situation Current situation in Port of Rijeka and port of Zadar is that there is no existing equipment of any kind at the entrance points. Implementation of these systems will allow faster and more reliable cargo flows in and out of the port. Expected results The initiative proposed is an electronic system which will introduce solution, better and faster transhipment of goods and cargos, create safer and more reliable supervision of all entities entering and leaving the port areas.

  • City of Rijeka Intercultural Profile
    City of Rijeka Intercultural Profile This report is based upon the visit of the CoE expert team on 11 & 12 July 2016, comprising Phil Wood and Ivana D’Alessando. It should be read in parallel with the Council of Europe’s response to Rijeka’s ICC Index questionnaire, which contains many recommendations and pointers to examples of good practice. 1. Introduction Rijeka is the principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split). It is located on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea and has a population of 128,624 inhabitants (2011). The metropolitan area, which includes adjacent towns and municipalities, has a population of more than 240,000. Historically, because of its strategic position and deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially amongst Italy, Hungary (serving as the Kingdom of Hungary's largest and most important port), and Croatia, changing hands and demographics many times over centuries. This is reflected in the city’s alternative names, it being known in Italian and Hungarian as Fiume, in Slovene as Reka and in German as Sankt Veit am Flaum. According to the 2011 census data, the overwhelming majority of its citizens (82.52%) are presently Croats, along with small numbers of Bosniaks, Italians and Serbs. Members of all 22 of Croatia’s official National Minorities are resident in the city. Rijeka is the main city of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County which includes several islands of the northern Dalmatian coast, and has a population of 296,195 and, for the purposes of Intercultural Cities membership, the whole of the County is included.

  • An Analysis of the Latest Trends of the Complex Development of the Croatian-Hungarian Border Area
    DOI: 10.15201/hungeobull.65.1.4Čelan, T.J. Hungarian Hungarian Geographical Geographical Bulletin Bulletin 65 (2016) 65 (1)2016 43–56. (1) 43–56.43 An analysis of the latest trends of the complex development of the Croatian-Hungarian border area Tvrtko Josip ČELAN1 Abstract This paper analyses the geographical feature of the Croatian-Hungarian cross-border area, focusing on recent changes and socio-economic trends of the last decade. In the paper current demographic, cross-border traffi c and mobility trends are examined. Special att ention is devoted to the spatial structure of the area and its key demographic indicators, modifi ed during the last intercensal period between 2001 and 2011. Demographic data are analysed on the level of NUTS III units, as they provide the statistical basis for planning and they are designated as co-operation units in the joint bilateral cross-border operational programme fi nanced by the EU. The transition that has taken place in the last years is observed in relation to the Croatian accession to the EU and to the full membership achieved in 2013. The Croatian-Hungarian cross-border co-operation has been intensifi ed since 2007. More EU funds became available than before, which brought about the possibility for stronger cohesion in the area and, accordingly, it has triggered territorial transformations. The main goal of this research is to defi ne whether changes having taken place in the border region since 2007 created a genuine transborder region. The assumption is that current development trends, although the most intensive in the last 100 years, are still not suffi cient enough to mitigate the huge geographical handicap, the transport and language barriers and in general the strong periphery status of the border area in comparison to the capital cities Zagreb and Budapest.
